   Hello all, I am seeking some help with the following problem.  I'm   
   working on an application where I have a resource file, and in this   
   resource file what I want to store is a list of file names (that is,   
   essentially a string array).   
      
   The potential solutions I see are:   
      
   1) Convert the string array into one big string with each element   
   separated by some special value, store that string into the resource   
   file's string table as a single entry, and then when I load the string   
   from the resource file parse it into a regular string array.  The   
   problem with this is the obvious kludgy-ness of having to generate the   
   string, and then re-parse it whenever I want to read it from the   
   resource file.  But its certainly doable.   
      
   2) To make a custom resource, and store the string array as a custom   
   resource, and re-load it back into my application.  This seems the more   
   elegant solution, but I have no idea how to go about doing this.  I   
   found a tutorial online to do something similar with an array of longs   
   via the CopyMemory API call, but the sample code caused VB to crash on   
   me (and I want a solution that's not buggy/unstable).   
      
   3) To use an external file to my application.  This is however   
   unacceptable for my specific application.   
      
   Any suggestions/tips would be appreciated.   
      
   Thanks,
